greysmom Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wow! Great news! I'm so glad she's home and OK! We had a Great Dane female a year old who bloated and had torsion. We fortunately caught it right at the start and she had surgery and lived for 10 more years. We still watch all our greys like hawks for any symptoms. It's not at all uncommon for bloated dogs to die from complications post-surgery. The gas filled stomach can cause pressure on all the internal organs, and the heart is particularly vunerable. Clots from surgery, anesthesia complications, infections, problems with the kidneys or liver - there are so many things that can go wrong, so I'm not surprised to learn the vet has lost a couple. But I'm VERY glad your baby is OK! greysmom Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeh2o Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I just got her to drink water! What a little tuffy, I took her outside for a stroll and she had to pee like a flood. As out of it as she seems, she is able to hold her pee. What a good girl. She's still not interested in eating, but no big deal, she still had food in her stomach as of this morning according to the vet. She's just resting and napping mostly. We are both soooo lucky, I still can't believe it.

seeh2o Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Ok, she must be doing better, she turned her nose up at her food, but she'll eat treats! She had an accident during the night, unusual for her, but so is this situation. I took her out and she POOPED!!! A little, but every little bit counts. She's up and wandering around the house right now. I know I need to stop babying her now and let her do things on her own, but it's hard not to do things for her, like bring the water bowl to her. She's very familiar with Ed's, but it's not her home and she's still a bit disoriented. We are driving home today and were lucky enough to get a vet appointment at 7 tonight with our regular vet for a follow-up. Carl is still very concerned, watching us both like a hawk and hanging out on the landing of the stairs so he can watch us both at the same time! Oh, and I actually slept last night!

Guest gr8greys Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I read this thread for the first time and my heart goes out to you! Please update us when you're home and she's seen her regular vet. I've just gotten mine on the mend from an illness and I know what it's like worrying about them, but it does sound like she's going to be okay - hooray! My sincerest well wishes to Sheila...
